Soft, crumbly, and moreishly sweet. Shop-bought custard creams will be a thing of the past in your kitchen after trying this homemade version of the classic biscuit.

Carrot Cake Cheesecake

by Jane Dunn

In this inventive combination of two baking classics, Jane swaps out the cream cheese frosting traditionally used to top carrot cakes, in favour of a light-yet-rich spiced cheesecake.

Stuffed Mug Cake

by Jane Dunn

Quick, customisable, and super simple to make, these mug cakes use just four cupboard staple ingredients (and a dollop of your favourite sweet filling).

Lemon Bars

by Jane Dunn

Made with just five ingredients, these zesty treats feature a buttery shortbread base and super simple lemon curd topping.

Cheese Scones

by Jane Dunn

Who said baking has to be all sweet? This cookbook includes plenty of savoury bakes, such as these moreish scones flavoured with mature cheddar, parmesan, cayenne pepper and mustard powder.

Chocolate Hazelnut Loaf Cake

by Jane Dunn

Calling all Ferrero Rocher fans! This one-tin wonder is a gorgeously decadent (yet easy) celebration of chocolate and hazelnut – a classic flavour combo for a reason.

Giant Skillet Brownie

by Jane Dunn

Jane’s Patisserie Everyday has some brilliant crowd-pleasing dessert recipes, such as Sticky Toffee Pudding and the ever-nostalgic Chocolate School Cake and Custard. This Giant Skillet Brownie, featuring a gooey medley of dark, milk, and white chocolate, is no exception.

Bakewell Flapjacks

by Jane Dunn

Yet another inventive take on two British classics, this simple traybake combines the mellow sweetness of almond flakes and a white chocolate drizzle with the tartness of raspberry jam, all tied together with a hearty, buttery flapjack base.

This is not your average pasta bake. Elevate your midweek meal plan with this comforting, cheesy dish, perfectly seasoned with store-cupboard essentials.
